Bills to help corporations lock workers into longer non-compete agreements were given to lawmakers by a lobbyist for Citadel, a financial firm run by a billionaire investor and Republican megadonor.
Yeah as opposed to the manufacturing ones Trump has in store for Americans when all the immigrant labor is gone, the EPA gutted, coal plants fired up polluting like it's China, workers will be filthy, filthy, filthy on the assembly line with no place to pee. Trump says it build masculinity! LOL. Florida was, and always will be, a slave state.
In the past, I represented a woman who worked for a mobile dog-washing company (just a guy, really). She was forced to sign a non-compete, even though she was paid only $8 an hour. When she left to start up her own business, he tried to enforce the non-compete. The court found a way around the non-compete, and I believe many other Florida courts had done the same, because it seemed not just unjust, but ridiculous to enforce a non-compete clause against an $8 an hour employee.
There are no good reasons for noncompete agreements. A company either has the ability to motivate and retain employees or it doesn’t.
Economic shackles like noncompetes should not be allowed to be included in any element the employee hiring, motivation and retention equations.
It's interesting that FL is doing something different than other states. Those "clean, high-paying jobs" must hold a lot of charm.

You don't need half a brain to see that the definition of fascism is the merger of corporate and state.
The reason Steinbeck's book The Grapes of Wrath is banned is because farmers don't like the idea of workers unionizing.
